We’re soft-launching Codev 3.0 today.
The goal for this release was to move beyond the friction of "AI in a separate window" and treat agents as a standard part of the dev loop.
Key updates in 3.0:
✅ VS Code Extension: Now, in addition to using Codev purely from the terminal and the web-based Tower UI, you can use Codev inside VSCode and its derivatives (like Cursor and Windsurf).
✅ Pluggable Architecture: Support for swapping between different forges (GitHub, GitLab, GiTea) and different CLI harnesses (e.g., Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, OpenCode). Also, more flexibility in how models are used (e.g., you can select just Codex for code reviews, but use Codex and Gemini for spec reviews).
✅ Team Coordination: Builders can now manage multiple PRs simultaneously and suggest specific human reviewers based on the nature of the changes. We’ve also added a Team tab in Tower to keep track of concurrent agentic and human tasks.
The system is designed for a spec-first workflow in which natural language drives the creation process, and the code serves as the compilation target.
